I again relate to this one Expecting to die in your early 20s and then surviving imposes a disability on us that is not easy to overcome I have made it to an old man and I am confident you will as well Just keep trucking!

Well unlike most of my family, it sounds to me in so many of your writings you are a fire preventer.

I am the only fire preventer in this house, every one else in the family is somewhere between Scarlett O’Hara & firefighters.

You know the type, oh fiddle dee dee, I’ll think about this tomorrow, or I’ll cross that bridge when I get to it.

Yes, update your will. I need to do mine also.

Again, I enjoy your candor!!!

I straddle the line between starting fires and being prepared for them haha. But yea, I may just go online and print some generic thing sooner or later.

Update the will! We all die and leaving a spouse intestate is a real problem. Just redid my own.

I’m so thankful you made it through that time in your life. God had a plan for you. I am amazed at the man you have become. All the knowledge you share and wisdom you impart to others. Your giving spirit is such a blessing to our whole family. Thanks again for sharing from your heart. Love and hugs!

Thanks so much for reading and being a consistent encouragement. These writing classes I take / teach always dig up stuff like this
